It's official. The U.S. is no longer engaged in a "war on terrorism." Neither is it fighting "jihadists" or in a "global war."

President Obama's top homeland security and counterterrorism official took all three terms off the table of acceptable words inside the White House during a speech Thursday at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank.

"The President does not describe this as a 'war on terrorism,'" said John Brennan, head of the White House homeland security office, ... More here:

Exactly ... because the communists always like to change the language. This is because they're morons who think it actually makes a difference if they change the wording of something. They love semantics. Anyway, fast forward to today when they need more money for Afghanistan:

Hey, did you hear any of the "news anchors"/objective jourrrrnalists crying the "overdone" the coverage of Kennedy's funeral? No? Did you hear anything about "life goes on so let's move on?" No? That's funny.

However, after President Ronald Reagan passed away in 2004, both Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather grumbled aloud about how his funeral was being "overcovered" despite the massive turnout of citizens when he was lain in state in the Capitol Rotunda. The difference between Kennedy and Reagan, of course, was their political philosphies which explains the vastly different reactions to their funeral coverage. So let us take a trip down memory lane to this Philadelphia Inquirer article written by Gail Shister in June 2004:

Television will go overboard on covering Ronald Reagan's funeral events, say Dan Rather of CBS and Tom Brokaw of NBC. ABC's Peter Jennings isn't so sure.

"They will be overcovered," Rather says. "Even though everybody is respectful and wants to pay homage to the president, life goes on. There is other news, like the reality of Iraq. It got very short shrift this weekend."

Enjoying an evening out with friends, we started talking about Kennedy's burial service. It was mentioned that he was going to be buried at Arlington and recieve a 21-gun salute. Of course we all had different opinions on what a 21-gun salute meant. Below is what I have found in researching the meaning. Was a little surprised by what I found.21-gun saluteThis article is about the cannon salute. For the three-shot rifle salute given at military and law enforcement funerals, see 3-volley salute.Gun salutes are the firing of cannons or arms as a (military or naval) honour.The custom originates in naval tradition, where a warship would fire its cannons harmlessly out to sea, until all ammunition was spent, to show that it was disarmed, signifying the lack of hostile intent.As naval customs evolved 21 volleys came to be fired for heads of state, with the number decreasing with the rank of the recipient of the honour. Multiples of 21-gun salutes may be fired for particularly important celebrations.3-volley saluteThe 3-volley salute is a ceremonial act performed at military and policefunerals as part of the drill and ceremony of the Honor Guard. It consists of a rifle party firing blank cartridges into the air three times. The custom originates from the European dynastic wars, where the fighting ceased for the dead and wounded to be removed, then three shots were fired into the air to signal that the battle could resume.[1]A rifle party usually has an odd number of members, from 3 to 7. The firearm used is typically a rifle, but at some police funerals, shotguns or handguns are used. The party usually stands so that the muzzles are pointed over the casket, or some distance away if the funeral attendees are too close to it. If the service is being performed indoors, the firing party stands outside the building, often near the front entrance.[2] On the command of the NCO-in-charge, the party raises their weapons and fires three times in unison.[2]Modern United States military parties use modified M1, M14 or M16 rifles with their semi-automatic gas action disabled, as manually cycling weapon between shots is part of the drill.[2] The M1 and M14 are generally preferred over the current issue M16 because the appearance of these older rifles is more traditional and the charging handles are more easily operated in a dignified, ceremonial manner.The three-volley salute is not to be confused with the 21-gun salute (or 19-gun or 17-gun, etc) which uses a battery of artillery pieces

A myth common in the United States of America relative to the origin of this tradition is that the year 1776 inspired the 21-gun salute because the sum of the digits in 1776 is 21 (i.e., 1+7+7+6 = 21). However, this is not true. Beginning in the colonial period, the United States fired one shot for each state in the Union as its national salute. This practice was partly a result of usage, because John Paul Jones saluted France with 13 guns at Quiberon Bay in 1778 when the Stars and Stripes received its first salute. The practice was not officially authorized until 1810, when the United States Department of War declared the number of rounds fired in the 'National Salute' to be equivalent to the number of states -- which, at the time was 17. The tradition continued until 1841 when it was reduced from 26 to 21.This information was found at Wikipedia.

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Charles Rangel failed to report as much as $1.3 million in outside income -- including up to $1 million for a Harlem building sale -- on financial-disclosure forms he filed between 2002 and 2006, according to newly amended records.

The documents also show the embattled chairman of the Ways and Means Committee -- who is being probed by the House Ethics Committee -- failed to reveal a staggering $3 million in various business transactions over the same period. More here:

I love it. I'd say "he doesn't know any better" but this is the guy who's in charge of WRITING THE TAX CODE. Good job, Rangel, you braying jackass.Now, you or I would go to prison for this. Do you think he'll go to prison? Do you think he'll remain as a member of congress in 2010?

I read the article above and also this article but, somehow, they neglect to prominently mention his party affiliation. One leaves it out altogether and the other waits until the 10th paragraph to let you know. I'll give you one guess as to his political party.

Somehow, for the mainstream media, party affiliation is only an important fact when a Republican has done something wrong. THEN it will usually be in the first sentence of the article. Isn't that funny?

Have you been wondering why "white people stole my car" has been one of the hottest search terms on Google for the last few days? Well, after a bit of investigation, your humble Truemorist has discovered that Google is a spam victim ... and so are you, if you clicked on any of the spam links that come up when typing "white people stole my car" into Google search.

Spammers somehow managed to make "white people stole my car" appear on Google Trends and lead people to websites filled with spam and viruses (Truemorist recommends that you avoid clicking on most of the links that come up when searching for "white people stole my car" for the safety of your computer and your very soul). How the spammers achieved the "white people stole my car" coup is still unclear. Maybe they used robots, maybe they used specially-trained monkeys .... in any case, a handy little tool called Google Insights indicates that they've been going at it since August 19. More here:

One day after the Herald reported some surprised Bay State inmates - including murderers and rapists - were cashing in $250 stimulus checks, federal officials revealed the same behind-bars bonus was mailed to nearly 4,000 cons nationwide.

A federal watchdog is now probing how the cons were cut the checks. The same cash also may have been sent to fugitive felons, people kicked out of the country and even individuals now deceased.

It’s all part of the massive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 - and what is becoming an accounting nightmare for red-faced feds. More here:

Way to go, government bureaucrats ... you've done it again. I just love how the government slings my money with reckless abandon. They could give a shit less. We should put the government in charge of everything ... the hell with freedom.MORE GOVERNMENT ... BIGGER GOVERNMENT ... GROW IT AND NEVER STOP.

A homeless man caught fire after U.S. police shocked him with a Taser gun, it has been revealed.

Daniel Wood, 31, was allegedly sniffing gas from an aerosol can as he ran through traffic when he was chased by two officers in Lancaster, Ohio.

One officer caught Wood and got him on the ground, where Wood continued to resist, according to the police report. Yes, because it's perfectly ok to ignore commands from police and then fight them, right?

Another officer shouted a warning, then zapped Wood with the Taser, the report said.

The officers were forced to drop their weapons and beat out the flames. Can you imagine what these cops were thinking? I'm guessing thoughts of lawyers and court appearances were running through their heads.

Wood said: 'My complete right half of my upper body is burned. Awe, that's a shame Mr. Wood. We need to identify the party responsible for that and bash his teeth with a crowbar.

'I have bandages from my wrist all the way up my arm and across my chest.' *Sniff

He admitted he had been inhaling vapours from a chemical cleaner in an attempt to get 'high'.

Wood had been resisting arrest by attempting to bite the officers and lashing out with his feet. From Dailymail.

Such a shame ... and it was probably his very first run-in with the law. Bad luck if you ask me.

Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who carried aloft the torch of a Massachusetts dynasty and championed a liberal ideology during almost a half century in the Senate, but whose personal and political failings may have prevented him from realizing the ultimate prize of the presidency, died Tuesday night at his home in Hyannis Port. He was 77 and had been battling brain cancer. More here:

When Cindy Sheehan arrives on Martha’s Vineyard tomorrow (Tuesday), to protest against President Barack Obama, will the news media be as drawn to her as they were in the summer of 2005 when she was condemning George W. Bush?

Last week, ABC anchor Charles Gibson declared “enough already” when asked on Chicago’s WLS Radio about Sheehan’s plan to travel to Obama’s island vacation spot to protest the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. When she camped near Bush’s Crawford, Texas ranch four years ago, that was hardly the view of Gibson and his colleagues. At the time, NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell aptly dubbed her “a media magnet.”

On August 9, 2005, the ABC anchor conducted an extensive on-air interview with Sheehan. “Cindy Sheehan is her name,” Gibson began. “She says she's not moving until the President meets with her, and I had a chance to speak with her a few minutes ago. Cindy Sheehan, bottom line, what do you hope to accomplish with all this?”

During the next week, Gibson and ABC continued to cover Sheehan. On August 17, 2005, when Sheehan left Crawford, Gibson reported, “We're going to turn next to the standoff that is playing out near President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. Cindy Sheehan, you know, the mother who lost a son in Iraq, is now on the move, but she's still standing her ground. ABC's Geoff Morrell is in Crawford with the details…” The next day, Gibson reported, “All across the country last night, people held candlelight vigils in support of Cindy Sheehan…”

Back then, the networks were eager to publicize her cause from the moment she arrived. Katie Couric, for instance, showcased Sheehan at the top of NBC’s Today show: “A mother’s vigil. Her son died in Iraq. Now this woman is camping outside the Bushes’ Texas ranch and demanding a meeting with the President today, Monday, August 8th, 2005.” More at Newsbusters:

Yeah, the honest and forthright media couldn't get enough of this Birkenstock-wearing, tie-dyed hippy dumbass when she was protesting a Republican president. Now that a Dipshitocrat is in office they can't be bothered. I guess we're all shocked. The mainstream media is sickening.

Just about everyone, from the general public to news executives, has an opinion about the future of journalism. Now, the Federal Trade Commission is stepping into the debate.

The commission is planning two days of workshops in December — titled “From Town Criers to Bloggers: How Will Journalism Survive the Internet Age?” — to examine the state of the news industry. More here:

Yes, this is what the Federal government ought to be doing. Spending money like drunken liberals and trying to find new ways to interfere in the free market. Hey, Mr. Leibowitz, I have an idea ... why don't you people in the government get real jobs and stop sucking our wallets dry ... bunch of harebrained idiots.

Of course, I can understand their concern about their declining ability to control the information now that people are getting more and more of their news from the internet. That's GOT to be disconcerting to idiot liberals. The Klown says "You're doomed, shitstains. The party is almost over."

It's the highest stakes ever for a Nevada election, and former boxer Sen. Harry Reid is on the ropes early. Either Republican Danny Tarkanian or Sue Lowden would knock out Reid in a general election, according to a recent poll of Nevada voters.

Nevadans favored Tarkanian over Reid 49 percent to 38 percent and Lowden over Reid 45 percent to 40 percent, according to the poll.

Reid's status makes him an icon of the Democratic Party and ties him to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and President Barack Obama, both of whom are losing ground among centrist and right-leaning voters in the country. More here:

A former Helper Junior High School teacher charged with having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old male student paid her victim between $1,400 and $1,500 after the encounters, court documents allege.

According to the statement, the victim's mother confronted Andreini at Andreini's home in Helper on July 3 after finding out the teacher was supposedly having sex with her son. Andreini admitted to the boy's mother that she had sex with the teenager on several occasions at her home, according to the statement. More here:

Wow. Inflation is a bitch. When I was doing the teachers in Junior High, I never charged more than $10.Of course, I'm a do-gooder philanthropist.

Well folks, as I'm sure you're aware, there is a procedure for replacing Senators when they die or otherwise become incapacitated. In most states the Governor appoints a replacement to serve until the next election.

This was the case in Massachusetts until 2004.In 2004, there was a Republican governor (Mitt Romney) and Ted Kennedy didn't want him to be able to appoint a replacement for Senator John Kerry should Kerry be elected President. So, Ted Kennedy, being the fair and honest politician he is, pushed a law that mandated a special election to replace a Senator. That law passed and is now in effect.

Fast forward to 2009. Kennedy is about to kick the bucket (and it can't be fast enough for me) and we'll finally be rid of this low down, brain dead, (pardon the pun) communist jackass. So what does Kennedy think? He thinks that law he pushed back in 2004 is suddenly no good ... and he is pushing to change it back so that the Governor (now a Democrat) appoints his replacement.

You see, these laws aren't about the good of the people ... they're about giving Dipshitocrats a dishonest advantage for retaining power. To me, a lawmaker, in a position of public trust, who conducts themselves in this way should be in jail. Of course, nobody is shocked that Ted Kennedy wouldn't hesitate to stoop to any level required in order for his party to maintain power.

Oh, and what does his nephew, Patrick, have to say about this? Well, it's not a mental leap to surmise he might also be a piece of shit with selective amnesia. Here's his honest and forthright statement.

It's typical of Ted Kennedy to be thinking ahead, and about the people of Massachusetts, when the rest of us are thinking about him," said Patrick, who just last fall noted more than 40 other states fill congressional vacancies by gubernatorial appointment. More here:

You're right about one thing, Patrick ... I'm thinking about him ... I sure hope he doesn't have a slow and painful death ... capisce?

After the highly successful trial period where you could turn in your old, polluting cars and trucks for cash thereby helping the government run auto industry and clean the air, the Obama-Care medical insurance program is now offering up to $2500 per person for your old, unproductive relatives, ages 70 and over, regardless of condition!

No need to worry about a costly long term nursing home plan with the guaranteed buy back from the government! And you'll be doing your part to save Social Security and cut health care costs by 50% or more, it's a real win-win from the folks that brought you TARP, Cap N' Trade and Socialized Medicine!

Yes people, "Cash for Clunkers Part II" will rid you of those useless old codgers and put a little cash in your pockets too! You will be gratified to know all know all oldsters will be recycled into environmentally approved fertilizer or really tasty and nutritious biscuits for 3rd world nations. It's your call - when you endorse your government check, just mark either:

A - (biscuits)B - (fertilizer)

Hang a pre-printed sign around ol Granny's neck and kick her to the curb, where a gov. truck will be around in the morning to pick her up!

NEW YORK (AP) - Hundreds of auto dealers in the New York area have withdrawn from the government's Cash for Clunkers program, citing delays in getting reimbursed by the government, a dealership group said Wednesday.

The Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, which represents dealerships in the New York metro area, said about half its 425 members have left the program because they cannot afford to offer more rebates. They're also worried about getting repaid. More here:

Ha ha ... what a surprise ... the geniuses in government screwed something up.Who could have foreseen this? If only there were some way to have anticipated it.Woe is us, it took us by complete surprise.

It's really a shame. I was sooooo looking forward to having my tax money go to such a worthy cause as global warming. Hey ... I can't wait until we get electric cars. That's when all our effort at blocking hydro-electric power, coal power and nuclear power will really pay off ... when I go to plug it in and there's no power.Of course, you have to be really smart and insightful to see this coming. It's very obscure to the non-cogs ... you know ... like congress.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A former Las Vegas director for a political advocacy group accused of illegally paying canvassers to register voters during last year's presidential campaign has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and agreed to testify against the group and another employee.

Chief Deputy Nevada Attorney General Conrad Hafen said Wednesday that Christopher Edwards' plea deal strengthens a felony case against the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now and Amy Busefink, a former regional voter registration director for ACORN.

Edwards pleaded guilty this week to two counts of conspiracy to commit the crime of compensation for registration of voters. More here:

Yes, I think ACORN has your best interests at heart, don't you? Sure they do, if you love liberal government involvement in your daily life. You see, they're here to help. They want to help conduct the census. You know, the census they use to determine seats in the House of Representatives. But they aren't interested in the outcome and results ... ohh nooo ... they're just doing it to be nice. Hey ... you know what we should do ?? We should give them a few billion of our tax dollars to help them out.

President Obama’s paybacks to ACORN are seen in his stimulus package, where over four billion dollars have been earmarked for “neighborhood stabilization activities” and available to non-profit entities such as ACORN. Also under consideration is the contracting of ACORN to help in conducting the U.S. census. More here:

I was listening to Mark Levin's show the other day and I heard a caller say that Saul Alinky's "Rules for Radicals" was recommended reading on the National Education Association's website. I couldn't believe it so I looked for myself.

Mark talked about the time he worked in the White House after Jimmy Carter. He said he was organizing things and opened some boxes (which were leftover from the Carter administration) and he said there were boxes and boxes of this book (Rules for Radicals) in the White House. I guess they were going to be sent to their supporters or something. Liberals/communists suck. Sneaky bastards. They won't admit they're commies ... they just do the same thing as commies ... BUT THEY'RE NOT COMMIES ... RIGHT?

ALINSKY: I knew plenty of Communists in those days, and I worked with them on a number of projects. Back in the Thirties, the Communists did a hell of a lot of good work; they were in the vanguard of the labor movement and they played an important role in aiding blacks and Okies and Southern sharecroppers. Anybody who tells you he was active inprogressive causesin those days and never worked with the Reds is a goddamn liar. Their platform stood for all the right things, and unlike many liberals, they were willing to put their bodies on the line. Without the Communists, for example, I doubt the C.I.O. (Congress of Industrial Organizations -- as in "AFL-CIO" labor union) could have won all the battles it did.

Now you know what your kids are being taught.

Yeah ... Shocker, huh?

I have to ask again ... is every commie with a red flag a "community organizer?

Detroit, Mich. - Michigan just experienced its coldest July on record; global temperatures haven't risen in more than a decade; Great Lakes water levels have resumed their 30-year cyclical rise (contrary to a decade of media scare stories that they were drying up due to global warming), and polls show that climate change doesn't even make a list of Michigan voters' top-ten concerns.

Yet in an interview with the Detroit News Monday, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.) - recently appointed to the Senate Energy Committee - made clear that fighting the climate crisis is her top priority.

"Climate change is very real," she confessed as she embraced cap and trade's massive tax increase on Michigan industry - at the same time claiming, against all the evidence, that it would not lead to an increase in manufacturing costs or energy prices. "Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I'm flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes."

For those who don't know about history ... Here is a condensed version:

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1 . Liberals, and 2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement..Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. Those became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America .. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history:It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.

A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to tick them off.And there you have it....

I read this from a friend before reading the blog this morning. At first I had no intentions of posting it but after reading the rant by "TurnTable" (if I got your name wrong, get over it cause I don't really care). I agree with the Klown to not deleting the comments, I appreciate seeing just how many idiots out there want to and try real hard to shove their ideas down the throats of folks who don't agree with them. It is funny as hell to read that someone came into the Klown's area then proceeded to try and tell him he was wrong. Guess the idiot didn't take time to read the title of the Blog where it clearly says "Anything I damn well please". (Eyeroll) In other words, this is Klown's site, his opinions so if you don't like it then scram, GRANDPA! But then if you want to continue to show what an ass your are, please go ahead we can all use the laugh.

Disclaimer: if anything is not line up or spelled correctly it is done on purpose to irrate the hell out of you!

Recent surveys show Americans cooling to global warming, and they're even less keen on environmental policies they believe might raise power bills or imperil jobs. Those sentiments could mean a tougher road ahead for elected officials looking to fund investments in renewable power or install a carbon cap-and-trade system.

Here's what Gallup found: The number of Americans who say the media have exaggerated global warming jumped to a record 41 percent in 2009, up from 35 percent a year ago. The most marked increase came among political independents, whose ranks of doubters swelled from 33 percent to 44 percent. Republican doubters grew from 59 percent to 66 percent, while Democratic skeptics stayed at around 20 percent.

What's more, fewer Americans believe the effects of global warming have started to occur: 53 percent see signs of a hotter planet, down from 61 percent in 2008. Global warming placed last among eight environmental concerns Gallup asked respondents to rank, with water pollution landing the top spot. More here:

Wow, this would be great if congress gave a flaming damn what you wanted.

Washington -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner asked Congress to increase the $12.1 trillion debt limit on Friday, saying it is "critically important" that they act in the next two months.

Mr. Geithner, in a letter to U.S. lawmakers, said that the Treasury projects that the current debt limit could be reached as early mid-October. Increasing the limit is important to instilling confidence in global investors, Mr. Geithner said. More here:

Yes, because why should the government have to stop spending so much money? If they don't have the money to operate, they just borrow more and you can pay it later. It's just another way of increasing taxes. Dirty rat bastards.

No matter how much they tax and tax and tax, it's never enough ... never.And no matter how much they borrow and borrow and borrow, it's never enough ... never.

Why do they even have a "debt limit?" Have you EVER heard of them not approving in increase when they run out of money? I thought the "limit" was to FORCE THOSE IDIOTS TO STOP SPENDING FUCKING MONEY!!!!

Senior White House adviser David Axelrod and deputy chief of staff Jim Messina told senators to focus on the insured and how they would benefit from “consumer protections" in the overhaul, such as ending the practice of denying insurance based on preexisting conditions and ensuring the continuity of coverage between jobs. (Sell, sell, sell ... we MUST push this on America. We know what's best.)

They showed video clips of the confrontational town halls that have dominated the media coverage, and told senators to do more prep work than usual for their public meetings by making sure their own supporters turn out, senators and aides said.

And they screened TV ads and reviewed the various campaigns by critics of the Democratic plan.

“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,” Messina said, according to an official who attended the meeting.

The hourlong session was the last opportunity for Democratic leaders and the White House to prepare senators for what will be a crucial month in shaping public opinion on health care. With no final legislation to promote, senators have expressed concern about dealing with questions and criticisms about the almost $1 trillion overhaul. The spate of confrontational town hall meetings have raised the stakes.

“They are just helping us understand the fringe that is trying to mess up our meetings,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). More here:

The fringe? So the people protesting your bullshit are "the fringe" now? Obama got elected with 53% of the vote and the other 47% are "the fringe?" Hey, HARRY, you jackass ... we're not trying to "mess up your meetings." We're trying to tell you to take your government health program and cram it up your wrinkled communist ass.

I guess Reid, Pelosi, and Obama think we (the public) are running mighty short on government red tape, waste, and bureaucracy and we're looking for more. Hey, Harry, something tells me you're going to lose your seat next year. Adios, fuckwit.

WASHINGTON -- Congress plans to spend $550 million to buy eight jets, a substantial upgrade to the fleet used by federal officials at a time when lawmakers have criticized the use of corporate jets by companies receiving taxpayer funds. More here:

WASHINGTON -- The House's bid to buy new executive jets on the Pentagon's budget has broadened a conflict between Congress and the administration over defense priorities.

"It forces us to take money from things we do need to fund and redirect it for things we don't need," Geoff Morrell, a spokesman for Defense Secretary Robert Gates, said Friday. "And in a time of war, we just can't afford that."

Lawmakers' move to upgrade the fleet of government jets -- used for travel by lawmakers and other senior government officials -- is just one of more than 1,000 spending projects lawmakers added to the Pentagon's budget for next year that weren't requested by President Barack Obama. More here:

WASHINGTON -- When 10 members of Congress wanted to study climate change, they did more than just dip their toes into the subject: They went diving and snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef. They also rode a cable car through the Australian rain forest, visited a penguin rookery and flew to the South Pole.

The South Pole trip, led by Rep. Brian Baird (D., Wash.), ranks among the priciest. The lawmakers reported a cost to taxpayers of $103,000.

That figure, however, doesn't include the actual flying, because the trip used the Air Force planes, not commercial carriers. Flight costs would lift the total tab to more than $500,000, based on Defense Department figures for aircraft per-hour operating costs.

Lawmakers say the trip offered them a valuable chance to learn about global warming and to monitor how federal funds are spent. "The trip we made was more valuable than 100 hearings," said Rep. Baird, its leader. More here:

Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 8+1+18+4+23 +15+18+11 = 98%andK-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5= 96%But,A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%And,B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hardwork and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

On Wednesday night’s Late Late Show on CBS, when host Craig Ferguson asked guest Wolf Blitzer of CNN’s The Situation Room if he thought Sarah Palin is "gone" now, Blitzer cracked that Palin would provide Ferguson with "a lot of material" as she will still be active publicly. After the two were talking about whether the CNN anchor sometimes finds something "really funny" while he is doing the news, Ferguson cracked that the former Alaska governor is "quite funny," evoking audience laughter, and asked about her future. Ferguson: "Hey, what about Sarah Palin, talking about "quite funny"? Do you think she's gone? Do you think that's it?"

Blitzer responded: "No, she’s not gone. We’ll be seeing a lot of her. She’s going to be writing a book. She’ll be doing speeches. She’ll be on TV. You’re going to have a lot of material. ... If you need material, you’ll have it." From Brad Wilmouth at Newsbusters:

Yep. If you're one of the people who don't know how stupid Sarah Palin is, you just need to watch more mainstream media news. Hey, Blizter, thanks for the objective "reporting."

Ha ha, I just made a typo in "Blitzer" but I liked the result. From now on, his name is Wolf Blizter.

Matthews, who would later theorize that Sarah Palin will exploit white racism by visiting "cul de sacs of whitedom," set up the segment by reading a line from Parker's column which compares Palin to a white character in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mocking Bird who falsely accuses a black man of raping her, leading to his conviction by a racist jury. Matthews:

Here`s a quote that really grabbed me: "That same rage was on display again in the fall of 2008, but this time the frenzy was stimulated by a pretty gal with a mocking little wink. Sarah Palin may not have realized what she was doing. But southerners, weaned on Harper Lee, heard the dog whistle." Kathleen, "heard the dog whistle." Is Sarah Palin a poster girl for racism? Yes or no?

Parker suggested that Palin is indeed a "poster girl for racism," though "not consciously," and alluded to white racism being incited by a white woman and black man being pitted against each other, as in Sarah Palin versus Barack Obama, or in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird.

Oh yes, she's a witch alright. It's just that she's not "conscious" of being a witch. It's ok though because we jourrrrnalists are here to ensure you know she's a witch.

What was intended to be a town hall discussion on President Barack Obama's health care reform proposal dissolved into a shouting match with shoving and scuffles in Ybor City tonight.

The event brought home to Tampa the recent phenomenon of angry opponents of Obama's proposal disrupting town hall meetings by Democratic members of Congress during the August recess.

This meeting was organized by Democratic state Rep. Betty Reed but was to include comments on the proposal by U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, a strong supporter.

Castor tried to speak for nearly 15 minutes but the crowd drowned her out, chanting, "You work for us,'' "Tyranny, tyranny,'' and "Read the bill." She ultimately left the meeting early, further angering some attendees. More here:

Yes. It appears people feel strongly about jackasses trying to install another massive government program that can never, EVER, be repealed. All you have to do is go to the news section of Google and type in "town hall." You'll find story after story of people attending these town halls and letting their representatives know they don't want the government involved.

The thing is, Nancy Pelosi et al are trying to shove it down your throat. They denigrate anyone who doesn't agree with them. Pelosi calls them them Nazis, racists, whatever. They call the protests "organized" (as if that's bad, even if it WERE true.) See, when leftists "organize" it's for the "common good" but when conservatives organize, somehow it's subterfuge.

Oh, and if you get any bright ideas about bad-mouthing the Democrat's (Obama's) plan, they've asked your fellow citizens to turn you in to the White House. "Hey, John Doe, nice life you have going there ... sure would be a shame if something were to 'happen to it.'"

These morons want the government to "compete" with private insurance companies. The only problem is, the government doesn't have to make a profit (be efficient.) They need only to raise your taxes to fund their program. Now, I ask you, is that fair "competition?"

I do agree we need some reform in health care but I envision the government facilitating/promoting commerce instead of impeding it. For example, tort reform. Make the loser in lawsuits pay for the costs incurred in defending lawsuits. This would reform a hell of a lot more than just health care. Don't hold your breath though, the trial lawyers association is one of the biggest contributors to Dipshitocrat campaigns. Just like trade unions (especially the Teacher's union.)

The thing that really amazes me is how Dipshitocrats get elected by being on the idiot side of every issue.

Amnesty for illegal aliens

Cover illegal aliens in their health care plan

Implement unending massive government programs - one after the other

Tax and spend - Tax and spend - forget paying down the debt

Government involvement in every issue imaginable (and some that aren't)

No competition for "government" schools (vouchers)

Profits are evil

Jackasses in jail - don't have to work, get TV, A/C etc

Block oil drilling, refining, and transportation

Generational welfare

They fight tax reform at every step

More and more "gun control" (take them away.)

Everything is about race

Liberty? I don't McThink so

The point I'm trying to make here is that Congress does not give one flaming damn what the majority wants. They will do whatever they damn well please and fuck you. I really don't think that the average Democrat voter understands the connection between Democrats and these issues. The average Democrat voter thinks the media is smart, fair, and honest ... capisce? I'm not exaggerating. Ask a lib if the media is smart, fair, and honest. See the idiocy for yourself.

It's like Mark Levin says, "Every day congress meets, you lose a little bit more of your liberty."

I could go on and on. Seriously, I actually despise people who vote for libs. I look upon them with utter contempt and I think Republicans are only slightly better. IMHO, Republicans used to be much better ... now they spend like Democrats, they all look like TV preachers, and they can't open their mouths without saying "abortion is the same as murder" ... even though it is clear the majority of people disagree with them. (Not that I'm one to think the majority is right all the time.)

I notice this much, when Republicans were in charge of congress, did they do one damn thing about the issues above? As I recall, they lowered taxes but that's about it. Although, lowering taxes is probably the most critical issue because it starves the government of money. Theoretically, reducing the income of government reduces its ability to operate outside its constitutional limits and thereby, intrude like a hungry jackass, into the barnyard that is my life.

Lowering taxes would work great if they HAD TO pay down the debt and operate without a deficit. As it is though, when you reduce their income, they just print/borrow more money ... nothing changes ... get the lesson?

I just think Republicans need to get back to the premise of fiscal responsibility, freedom, liberty, and limited government.

You know that doofus (George Sodini) who killed the three women in a PA gym? He had a blog. Yes ... shocker. Do you think you can tell if someone is mentally imbalanced by reading their blog? Well, do you? DO YOU?

And here's some videos he made.LOL @ "She'll really be impressed."Also, in case you miss it, on the coffee table is a book titled "How to Date Young Women for Men Over 35." Sheesh. Who, in their right mind, wants to "date" young women.Perhaps he thought they'd let him tape their mouth shut or something.

A married man who planned to rendezvous with one of his handful of lovers at an eastern Wisconsin motel instead got his penis glued to his stomach, according to court documents.

Criminal complaints filed Friday allege the man agreed to be bound with "sheer sheets'' and blindfolded with a pillowcase for a "rub down'' by Ziemann. She instead cut off his underwear with a scissors and summoned the others to the room with a text message.

Ziemann struck the man in the face, and used Krazy Glue to attach his penis to his stomach when the other women arrived, according to the complaints. More here:

Geeez. I sure hope he got to take a pee before all this. What the hell is it with women? They get so damn upset if they think you might be getting a little strange stuff here and there ... like it's the end of the GD world.

Ok, this is a stupid idea to start with. How can we make it stupider? Leave it to the government.

Instead of selling the clunkers overseas or giving them to the poor, how 'bout we do this:

The program requires that the clunkers be put out of service for good, so dealers must destroy the engines on cars that are traded in. We watched this process yesterday at the DCH Paramus Honda in Paramus, N.J. It is quite laborious and potentially dangerous. And it certainly is final.

Nick Clites, who is in charge of used cars for the dealership, was prepping a 1988 BMW 535IS, with 214,000 miles on the odometer, for its death. He drained the oil, then donned a silky blue protective suit, goggles and gloves and poured a sodium silicate solution into the engine. He revved the car, and within a few seconds, the solution hardened into a glass-like substance, the engine seized up and the car was dead. More (with video) here:

CARACAS, Aug 1 (Reuters) - More than a dozen of 34 radio stations ordered shut by the Venezuelan government went off the air on Saturday, part of President Hugo Chavez's drive to extend his socialist revolution to the media. More here:

LMAO - they elected a commie and now they're shocked. Bunch of idiots getting what they deserve.

So how unusual is it for a new President to be featured seven times on Time’s cover, as Barack Obama has been (with First Lady Michelle Obama snagging her own solo appearance)? A look back at Time’s covers finds Bill Clinton matched Obama’s celebrity in 1993 — seven covers for himself, one for Hillary. But the last three Republican Presidents — Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush — were given relatively short shrift. (Larger images below the jump.)

Indeed, looking at the covers from when those three Republicans won the presidency through early August of their first year in office, Reagan and the two Bushes combined were only featured seven times — and it would have been only six if Reagan hadn’t been shot by an attempted assassin (April 13, 1981 cover story). From Newsbusters:

How DARE you question their integrity.This information should settle you down and quell your desire to bash their teeth out with a hammer.

KEVIL, KY (KFVS) - A man was shot and killed in McCracken County after police say he tried to break into a family's home around 2:00 a.m.

The family woke to the sound of the alarm system, indicating the door to the attached garage had been opened. The homeowner went outside to investigate, when he heard his wife inside screaming.

He ran back into the home where his wife told him the intruder, later identified as 18-year-old Andrew Caleb Barnett, was inside their attached garage attempting to get into the home through a wooden door with a window, according to police. The homeowner reportedly yelled several times that he had a gun, telling Barnett not to come inside. However, Barnett continued to make advances toward the man. Police say the homeowner fired one shot at Barnett, hitting him in the arm, and going into his chest area. Barnett apparently fell to the floor but got back up fighting the homeowner, at one point, biting him in the arm.

The fight continued through the home and eventually back into the garage. When police arrived they arrested Barnett and transported him to Western Baptist Hospital for the gunshot, but he ultimately died. More here:

Aug. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The first 12 months of the U.S. recession saw the economy shrink more than twice as much as previously estimated, reflecting even bigger declines in consumer spending and housing, revised figures showed.

Gross domestic product has shrunk 3.9 percent in the past year, the report said, indicating the worst slump since the Great Depression. More here:

Hey libs, keep borrowing more money -- hurry. Keep our gas and electric prices sky high by blocking coal, nuclear, and oil. Oh, and keep crushing businesses and "the rich." We'll find some poor people to give us jobs.

Keep borrowing more money so it deprives the private sector access to the same money. Keep laundering it through the government and handing it out to your favorite constituencies like ACORN. I feel the economy fixing already.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuela's top prosecutor insisted Thursday that freedom of expression in Venezuela "must be limited" and proposed legislation that would slap additional restrictions on the country's news media.

It also would punish media owners who "manipulate the news with the purpose of transmitting a false perception of the facts." You mean like ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN?

"Freedom of expression must be limited," Ortega said.

Ortega urged lawmakers to consider her suggestions as they debate a bill that would punish as-yet-undefined "media crimes." The National Assembly, which is controlled by allies of President Hugo Chavez, is expected to approve the measure in coming months. More here:

Ha ha, coming soon to Amerika. All the commies are the same. Hey, Venezuela peeps, how's that 40% inflation for both of the last two years working for ya? We'll be seeing it soon as well. Viva la revolution, jackasses.

Hey, Klown. Stop exaggerating. They can't take away our freedom of expression. It's in the Constitution.

Exactly, just like your right to bear arms. Now go to New York city and try to own a gun. Then tell me all about how the government has to follow the Constitution. I give Obama and the libs in congress about a year before they implement some sort of rule to crush talk radio.Viva -- Viva la revolution and Obama.

SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq (AP) - Iranian state TV confirmed Saturday that Tehran has detained three Americans after they crossed the border from northern Iraq.

The Kurdish regional government's envoy to Washington, QubadTalabani, told The Associated Press the three were tourists and had mistakenly crossed into Iranian territory Friday while hiking in a mountainous area near the town of Ahmed Awaa.

"The Iranians said they have arrested them because they entered their land without legal permission," he said.

The report said the Americans were arrested after they failed to heed warnings from Iranian border guards. More here:

Gee, that's too bad. A real shame. A bunch of rich "earth people" libs hiking in the middle east. "Border? What border?" I'm sure they'll be treated well though. The Iranians are very understanding about this sort of thing.

I mean, who in their right mind goes to Iraq to "go hiking?" Hey, Biff, get out the map, are we anywhere near the Iranian border? If so, we better be careful, eh?

A senior security official in Sulaimaniyah, (upper right part of map) near the Iranian border, said that the three were last heard from after they contacted a friend saying they had entered Iran by mistake and troops surrounded them. There has been no contact with them since, he said.
